            <img src="/image/head-description.jpg" width="122" height="25" border="0" alt="Description">
            <p>Gears is an open source plug-in that teaches current web browsers new tricks. Gears is a
                clever way to raise the bar cross-browser and cross-platform, today, running inside of
                Firefox and Internet Explorer on Windows, Mac OS X, and Linux. No more waiting years for
                features to show up across all browsers and platforms. APIs include: A real embedded
                relational database (SQLite) for web sites; client-side full text search; threads for
                JavaScript; offline web applications; secure and fast cross-domain mashups; desktop
                shortcuts; mobile devices; and more. Come and learn how to use Gears from Brad Neuberg
                (Dojo Offline, Dojo Storage, Really Simply History, Hyperscope, coworking),
                Developer Advocate at Google and member of the Gears team.</p>

            <p>During the networking hour, we invite our members that develop applications
                using Google Technology to do brief demos of 5 minutes or less. Please contact
                <a href="mailto:van.gtug@gmail.com">Van Riper</a> to indicate your interest to demo your
                stuff. Time permitting, we will include as many demos as possible before the main
                event. Demos of web applications that use Google Gears will be given precedence for
                this particular meeting.</p>
